How would you respond to this democratic abortion argument?

quote:Now, we all know how deeply the issue of abortion hits people -- in both parties. It's hard. It's sensitive and personal, and there are no easy answers. But even if we are divided over the question of when life begins, one thing we should agree on is this: Vulnerable children outside the womb deserve at least as much focus and care as those not yet born. Shouldn't those concerned about the lives of the unborn be equally concerned about the lives of the recently born?

quote:On one side, people should be prosecuted if they do anything to harm the fetus, but once on the outside, sorry kid, whatever happens happens. You're on your own.

quote:Can you be pro-life and vote to cut funding that supports the life of a child? At the state level GOP governors are cutting the child protection workers who handle child abuse and neglect cases -- you know, those awful public employees who must have caused the financial crisis. Programs that would benefit at-risk children outside the womb are all on the chopping block.

We all make mistakes but it is still our responsibility to fix the ones we make. Don't screw if you can't support a kid. Don't drive drunk if you don't want to get fricked in the arse in prison when you kill someone.

I've said this once and I'll say it again, abortion is all about when you consider life beginning.

If you don't think life begins till the child/fetus is viable on its on outside of the mothers body, then abortion is whatever and everyone should be able to do up until that point.

If you think life begins at the moment of conception or shortly after, then abortion is the killing of an innocent person and anyone who aborts is a child killer.

And then anywhere in between there. I'm not taking a side, but you obviously think life begins when a fetus is viable whereas others on here think it begins at conception and everywhere in between. We don't know who is right or wrong, but this argument always boils down to when "life" begins not a woman's right oddly.
